LRSD Celebrates Women's History Month
In honor of Women's History Month we will be spotlighting women in leadership positions within the Little Rock School District. This week we honored Professional Development Director Dr. Ericka McCarroll, who works diligently, shaping the next generation of leaders and educators within our district and Little Rock Central High's longest serving Principal, Nancy Rousseau. A devout educator turned administrator, she has proudly served as the head Tiger in charge for 20 years and in our district for a total of 36 years.
